To Paradise and Back
To the late night balmy breeze and
the morning sunshine,
I dearly missed them
all this time.To the lazy ducks and
the skinny peacocks,
it was really nice to meet
for the first time.I am just back from
a trip to paradise
and now I wonder, why?- Akky

Heya
Close to two weeks into the new year and not a single post! Unfortunate but not sad. Things have been chaotic but not totally out of control. Sometimes its fun just to observe chaos as is.
If you are reading this or you have been continuously checking back for updates which you haven't found then I really apologize for it. I would really appreciate if you leave a quick comment so that I know you were around. Many thanks and have a splendid 2009! Happy New Year 🙂
GoodNight!
Before I go to sleep I am trying to remind myself of what I was missing all this while. The adrenaline of adventure, the energy from the rising sun, the stillness of the lake, the calm of the setting sun, the chill in the late night breeze and the quiet of night. Oh, hell yeah! I dearly missed all of this. Revisiting all this in a single day has been a treat.
Goodnight to me, sweet dreamzzzZZZ!
Power break!
Finally, I have been able to take a 'Power Break' from work! Power Break is essentially similar to what a 'Power Nap' is for sleeping. More important you don't loose grip over your work and come back more focussed. I will be spending this weekend at The Native Place. More updates coming your way soon.. 😉
Google 2001!
Surprising! Back in the year 2001 Google had no clue of Facebook, TechCrunch, Michael Arrington and the likes (source). But it still knew me back in 2001.
Feels great 🙂 Thanks Google!

I feel I am free!
I feel I am free, albeit for a moment. If only I could tell you all how occupied I have been especially for the last two weeks. Its been really crazy. Now that I have checked off the 3 longest standing items on my todo list, I really feel relieved. By coincidence it also happens to be our Independence Day 🙂
Are you really interested in knowing those 3 items? Aha.. nope, I surely don't want to pin them up here to be reminded of them again.
By the way I was just wondering why does August tend to be a crazy month year after year. You remember last year? I don't know.
Few hours back I was watching this documentary on Nat Geo of 3 guys deciding to walk the whole Great Wall of China from its South Western tip till the Pacific. Thats close to 4500 km and a temperature shift of -40*c to +40*C (Gobi Dessert). Real crazy isn't it? At the end it was just one guy who made it till the end and it took him 15 months. Other notably fascinating documentaries that come to my mind were finding the source of the Amazon river and locating the mystical place Shangri-La. Those guys finally stood by a puddle and pointed to it as the source of the Amazon, the world's largest river by volume. I would sure like to do something like that... anyone have ideas? Not sure why? but I am longing for a true vacation already. Come December and I have some exciting plans, though can't wait that long;)
